IngerSoll and His Arguments.

In answer to an inquiry by some
of his students as to whether the
arguments of Ingersoll are unan-
swerable, a college president an
swers them in the Andover Review
as follows:
An infidel is an abnormal growth
and nature feels funny once in a
while and creates a freak, e. g.: the
living skeleton; the fat woman; the
two headed girl. So there is about
one infdel to a million sane men.
The most Of these noisy fellows are
amateur infidels. They talk Inger-
soil in fair weather and pray them
selves hoarse every time it thun-
ders. A we'll developed case Of
cholera morbus will knock their in
fidelity out of them and leave them
in cold sweat like china dog in
an ice house. l know them The
most of them are like the boy who
runs away from home and comes
back to stay with his father nights.
Then, again, boys, take a look
around you when you invest anoth-
er fifty cents to hear Ingersoll talk
on liberty and compare the crowd
with the kind of people you find 10
almost any church. Is it the odor
of sanctlty you smell? Hardly,
boys, hardly. But you can eat pea
nuts there and choke on the shells
while yol applaud the funny jokes
about heaven where you know in
your hearts your dear mother is;
or hear the humble Nazarene ridi-
culed, who, you think, and always
will think, gave home to youl
weary old father when he left the
earth. Yes, boys, Ingersol's argu-
ments are unanswerable, and
think the seasons viii! come along
and the churches will continue tC
bloom, and all nature will most
exasperatingly and calmly perform
her functions, if Robert is not an
swered. You know when the first
steamer crossed the Atlantic 6
great philosopher was delivering q
most con elusive argument to prove
that by no possibility could a steam
vessel cross the ocean, and thai
provoking steamer came snortins
and sizzling and splurging right
into the harbor. Boys, SO will
Gods foolish children go right OF
praying and preaching and dying
and going to heaven in spite of ar
pumentS.

familiar saying, "What's mines my |
own" The loss of self-preserva-
tion makes a man most careful of
things that are his own. A girls
books, pets, flowers, toys, ornaments
should be her own to do with as she
wills-for which she will be respon-
sible to her own conscience. She
should be made as early as possible
responsible agent and taught to
rely on herself, to do for herself, to
buy for herself. If her taste in
dress is bad, improve it by kindly
criticism and loving advice. Do not
foster helplessness by assuming for
her responsibilities. There was a
time when sickly or DELICATE young
women, who tainted easily, and
could not get whole strawberry
into their dear little mouths were
all the fashion in womanhood. In
those days it was vulgar for a young
woman to say she was hungry or to
eat with wholesome relish and q
good sensible appetite if gentlemen
were present. Girls aimed to look
languid, and were vain that they
could not walk, and we're not strong
enough for any greater physical ex-
ertion than standing at the front
gate for three or four hours at a
time talking to young man. Those
days have gone by forever. Heal

ion. Painting is as much out of date
as coslscuttle bonnet. The CIR

helpless women are out of style

who to day is helping her beautiful
sweet and modest young girls tt

Take flock of common hens, of
all colors. shapes and sizes, SO as to
conduct an experiment. Place with
them a pure bred Plymouth Rock
cock and the chicks will become
uniform and so near like Plymouth
Rocks that it will be difficult to dis
tinguish them from pure bred. To
continue the experiment, the next
season use cock of the last sea-
sons production, with pullets of the
same blood. That is, keep one of
the half-bred Plymouth Rocks and
mate him with a few of the half
bred pullets. The result will be that
chicks Matched from the eggs laid
by the half-bred pullets will revert
to their grandam, and instead Of be-
ing uniform, like the cross from the

always use pure bred male in the

THE EDITORS PRAYER.

One of the greatest troubles
newspaper editors have is to collect
subscriptions from delinquent sub
scribers. People who are usually
strictly honest in everything else do
not hesitate to ''beat" newspaper
out OF the small sum of subscrip-
tion. Many intend to pay who do
not do so, from almost criminal
carelessness. We DO not wish any
i'll, on general principles, but, since
quite a number of our brother edi-
tors who are suffering from this
cause have published 'The Editors
Prayer" which follows below, we
must JOIN the processi n and do
hkewise and say "Thcn's our sen
timouts":
May be (the delinquent subscri-
her) never be permitted To kiss a
pretty woman.
May 2:40 night msres trot quar-
ter races over his stomach every
night.
May his coffee be sweetened with
flies and seasoned with caterpillars,
May his hest friend run Off with
his wife and children take the
whooping cough.
May his boots leak, his gun hang
fire and his fishing line break.
May his cattle have worms, hi,
mules the blind staggers and biz
pigs destroy his garden.
May a troop of printers devils
lean, lank and hungry-dog hi
heels each day, and a regiment o
cats eternally caterwaul under hi
window each night.
May his cows give sour milk an,
churn rancid butter; and in con
!; clusion, good Lord, may his daugh
} ter marry a one eyed, hunchbacl
, editor, and he and his business g
, to h-ades.
1t will be noticed that nothing /
said in the prayer regarding delin
,, quent lady subscribers for the obvi
Gus reason that the ladies-heave
: bless 'em!- seldom are dellnquer
in anything. 1t there happens to b
one on our list we pray that sh
may never be able to wear sea

her head to see what other wome
have on.

REALTY IN

From present appearances there IS
likely to be a very large movement in
Great Falls real estate this fall.
Many important sales have recently
been made and quite a number OF ne
gotiations for lots are now pending.
Several leading Helena capitalists
have lately made investments here
and no less than five prominent Hell
ena men have made arrangements to
erect substantial brick blocks in Great
Falls next spring. The TRIBUNE has
positive assurance that on the com
pletion of the Manitoba railroad to
this place next month, a large amount
OF business property will change
hands and various new enterprises
will be inaugurated here. We ven
ture the prediction that holders Of
choice business property in Great
Falls will realize handsome profits
from their investments within the
next six months.

Fl CELEBRATION.

The people have entered heartily
into the plan for a grand railroad
celebration, and already much work
has been done. An excellent pro-
gramme has been arranged and steps
have been taken to carry it out. The
procession will present some unique
features, and will include a cavalcada
OF over 100 horsemen. There will be.
an Grafton which, in itself, will give
national importance to the day, and
there will be also music, boat, foot
and horse-races, all ending literally
in a blaze of glory, for the fireworks
will be grand and will illuminate the
cataracts. It is expected that there
will be an excursion train from As
sinaboine and Benton which will
bring hundreds of people. Evidently
the work goes bravely on.
